Full highlights as the United States beat Lithuania 99-94 in the Men's Preliminary Round Group A match from the Basketball Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships.
At the Games in 1936 in Berlin, basketball joined the Olympic programme, where it has remained to this day. Women's basketball debuted at the 1976 Games in Montreal.

This is the Olympics, you'd expect the audio quality to be top notch
I thought my phone was trippin
i remember this game played night time here in the philippines when i was in highschool. I just woke up, I was shock when i catch my father watching seriously on the screen, and i realize USA was only up by 4.
Respect to both of teams. Especially Lithuania
Lithuanian small country but we love Basketball so much
better than NBA
@@reala1276 no lol
USA is smaller and we hate it
Lockon Stratos uh YOU HATE IT. WE LOVE IT. WE INVENTED IT!
CanadianAmerican Patriot maybe
Lithuania had a really good chance at winning this, USA scored a lot towards the end, great game.
Lithuania fell apart towards the end with turnovers and careless play
Kobe、We miss You! You are always our HERO❣️
my legend, my honor may god be with you always kobe.
Latvian here. Always rooting for Lithuania when they play! Well done guys
right back at you
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
Isn't it called Russia? also hear u have big economical problems where there in small wages and everything is expensive lol
@@Pekrop7 ? what are you talking about? learn geography dude and history if needed
@@moila9819 He's a russian troll 🙂 He emigrated to the Baltic states during the occupation of Latvia.
I'm from USA. USA vs Lietuva is one of the greatest international rivals. The 2000 match was one of legend this game and the 2010 USA vs Lietuva match are also good. I can't wait for USA to meet Lietuva again in 2014. The clash of two great basketball nations.
Its Lithuania
SOON
LkZjump yes very soon! :)
Bad Wolf Sadly, Kleiza and Kalnietis don't play this year. But we still believe! :D
Evil Anthony Davis Lietuva is Lithuania in Lithuanian.
I know we normally don't count moral victories but this is most definitely a win for Lithuania, to even compete with this us team
This game is so close, you can see how difficult this game for the mighty USA but I love how mamba trusted the king to keeping the ball and win the game
1:54:19 Durant so unfriendly xD
Props to Lithuania, you guys can ball.
Is it just me or is the court level sound 15 seconds late?
Aidan Mone you are right.
Aidan Mone Synchronizaton sucks
+Aidan Mone I think about 3 seconds earlier.

man, americans looked really worried in 4th quarter lol.
Great game.
Ghyll But then won the game.
They came and thought they was going to be easy coming off that Nigeria game but then they started to play professional ball against a solid professional team like Lithuania was
Can't really watch this when the sound is ahead of the video
for the most teams - yes, however top tier teams are incredibly coached, as you can see at this stage of the playoffs
US has greatest talents worldwide, Lithuania has heart&teamwork:)
Amazing teamwork for Lithuania! The only reason they lose is turnover, next time, be focus
This was the best match up. The USA had to recruit the older Kobe to boost the youngens defense.. RIP to not the only the best scorer but big time defensive player of the game THE ONE AND ONLY BLACK MAMBA..
Dude
The audio is so off
I see/hear anything wrong ,, my audio and video R in the same pace
Ik
good game. Lithuania was the only team that actually came close to beating usa
I heard Nigeria came close tho?
Respect to the Lithuanians.
Spain was close
Spain was close, but people don't realize Lithuania has been a dominant force for years.
***** somebody clearly doesnt understand sarcasm
Awesome game.. so much respect for Lithuania
Lebron just too damn clutch!
24:18 Tony G sighting. He probably screaming GET ON YOUR BIKE AMERICANS !!! lol.
lol
Why are people complaining about why kevin love is on the USA team when he is amazing in the paint and he's a very good 3 point shooter.
David The Boss
What a great match, Lithuania was one of only 2 teams that were close to defeating the USA basketball team.
Argentina defeat it hahaha
Kleiza once had 41 points in a game with Melo in Denver a few years ago
Kleiza had 50 points game
...SHAME...!...SHAME...!...SHAME...!
Holy Awful Audio Syncing Batman!
...shut...Up..!!
Thank you Kobe
Kobe Bryant 🔥🔥😍😢
Basketball is also Lithuania's most popular sport by far. In the USA its all about football.
I saw this live, one of the best moments ever.
No one cant stop usa except lithuania
Greece can
Daniel Cruz the point is basketball is not chinas national sport.
Anastasia Kanetouni 9 years ago...
philippines can
greece can cuz lithuanian teach couches :) how to play
OMG! this was the greatest game i ever seen ,lithuanians did so well...and good job to Lebron james and the USA team ... that was a awesoome game i fought lithuania will win but i forgot what USA can ...
Lithuanians* Lithuania*
***** yeah... so what...?? admit it ... Lithuanians can ball .... and they are like the 3rd best country at basketball
"greatest" i already see you don't know anything about lithuanian baskrtball
very nice team Lithuania... down by ONLY 5...
I also felt like lebron was a massive team player in the London 2012
I always come back and watch this Team USA game the most it's the only game where they had to play real Basketball
Funny thing is our basketball "godfather" (Lithuanian guy) played for US in 1936 olympics where he won gold and then in 1939 European gold with Lithuania. We have strong ties with basketball, there is just not enough of us to produce the talent in the amounts to rival you guys. I watched 92 Dream team live on tv when I was a boy. I still remember where I was when we got beat by 57 or something. No one compares to those players.
This was a beautiful game to watch, very intertaining👏👏👏👏👏👏
I watched this game at the olympics actually in the arena but this is a great replay so i can see more details in the game! thanx for this vid!
is it only me or is audio before the video? wtf it's the OLYMPICS and they're screwing up videos!?!?
Haha def not you man. Weird!
l love you lebrown james 💜
Nice game. All players are truly competitive. Congrats team usa.
is the audio delayed for anyone else?
Nope.
yes
I think I know how Brits feel about Americans commenting soccer now
@Estela Lopez whooosh
It is a true delight to see another country do this well against America. I am an American who grew up playing basketball and this game is a great testament to how well Lithuania is going to do in 2016. This Lithuanian team may win the gold in 2016.
Lebron, without Kobe, may have something to say about it. It will be a great game! I can't wait!
no team USA is too good now, no way in hell will Lithuania win gold next year.
+Dion Lyona Lithuania never had awesome - Blossome squad, what we do have - what is not geting older and serve us well from first EuroBasket till now is HEART!!!
+Olivia Waller Well half of this Lithuanian team is either retired or not playing on that high level.
+Dion Lyona I agree with that, team USA right may not have Westbrook, Curry, Kobe, Lebron, Davis, Kawhi, CP3, etc. Those individual talents were missing, but they have a better season right now. They used to rely on drive, and run n'gun game, but now that they are implying a new game style, and adding the great shooters on the team? it would be tough for any team to beat them.
+Totoy Bitoy right now*
this is really exciting game!!! love it
You can tell the announcers don't like the USA winning all the games
Right, it's almost like they WANT the other team to win. And we just keep on winning.
become man and play fair next time jewSA your doping
Hyena laughing matter first of I’m Jewish and the name JEWSA is a new one ( a plus for creativity) second of all. We play fair. We just were better.
@@canadianamericanpatriot2601 until you wake up to the true of reality.
Damn, It's so interesting how a country like Lithuania with only 3 million people would play this good. My Uncle's co worker who is Lithuanian who works as an auto mechanic said that his people there are very laid back. I mean laid back and I watch this game, wow.
We have not 3million , we have 2,5 million :/. But we all love this game and (Mes uz lietuva)
Lapinas Žaidžia 2.94 mln.
Jack Hoff Talent is everywhere bro, just saying.
Was there another game going on or is the sound not in sync with the video?
you are correct and it is really annoying
wow Lithuania made the US sweats in this game ...
And americans had the audacity to say this is just "team c"???
This is the best team of team usa they struggled against Lithuania lmao
Big heads off to Lithuania!
the best players in USA, if you want to win, the most important key is the strategy
Kleiza was a better leader for Lithuania than Domantas Sabonis and Valanciunas in 2021
An awesome match ❤️
every game between LTU and USA is a close one
Kobe is great
Commentator is really dumb sometimes... Lithuania dont have expierience , Kleiza and JV was in NBA, Jasikevicius was in NBA, Songaila just come Back from NBA, and other guys was really good in Europe, I was always wonder why Dukes Marty didnt get his chance in NBA,
Pocius was amazing :) Even for Kobe he was hard to guard.
DAYUUMM ! What a good game !
great game but bruh what's with that background sound, very distracting and annoying. it's even louder than the comentators.
decent challenge?? That is an understatement, ive never seen coach K sweat so much
No, you are arguing childishly with someone over youtube about whether America is the better team at basketball... which we obviously are, while you should be aware of how we are slipping in the world competition.
Who's here after Lithuania beat USA in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup? Anyone here?🤗
Ayo!!!!!!
#6 took over in the last 3 minutes, saved USA
Number 6 is lebron james
That "#6" is the best player on the face of the planet lol
Joao Simoes de Carvalho He said #6 like he's just some random guy
Especially since they kept calling out his name after he shot a basket.
If you don't know who #6 is .. u probably never even seen a basketball in your life lol
Man I love this game!
I agree it's more than just a decent challenge
well I'm just saying, and many people would agree that American teams rely too much on individual performance and skill, rather than teamwork and cohesiveness
the sound is all messed up
they have stars in their own league
Is it just me or do the whistle sounds come way before the foul in this video? Is the audio messed up?
its lithuanias 1 of the best games i seen them play
Are you still alive ?
Nahzzz, what happened with the sound?
Thanks
Sound is ahead
Westbrook needs more shooting practice hours!!!!!
background sound is ahead, so confusing specially on the whistle!
24:17 spot the poker player HAHAHA ON YOUR BIKE
Was there another game going on? This lineup was crazy.
great game!
Sarunas Jasikevicius is a legend, but he nearly ruined the game with this turnovers. And for a deadly sniper as he is, Simas Jasaitis took just one shot and was doing poorly in defence. The rest of the team were just brilliant, especially Linas Kleiza.
This shows that the US is no longer a dream team at +20 points. There were times when even students could go to the cup and win gold medals. Basketball has become very balanced and that's great.
Nice to see Lithuania play well against the USA, the only team to give them a decent challenge.
Spain that year and now it's france
It would have been awesome to see D Rose in that Olympics if it weren't for his AC
Honestly Chris paul did pretty good job with the stealing and rebounding.
Miss you idol kobe
just here after Kobe's death
Ahujienos rungtynes :D
Lithuania was the only team who had a chance against the USA
Very impressive considering their population is under 3 million and the USA has a population of about 317 million.
Why does everybody use that excuse, china and India have over 1 billion people and they suck fat balls at basketball.
Daniel Cruz
Thats because the majority of their population is poor. And it's a different culture. You can't compare it. And basketball is far from popular in india.
Jerry B Andérson Poor or rich it doesn't matter. Do you know what type of people basketball is popular among in America and where do you think some of best talent in the USA came from? I'll give you a hint it was not an upper class white suburb.
What's this background noise? Sounds like they recorded two games sounds into one.
46:49 lol hardens face
1:51:35 Kobe pass to Lebron, not KD.
USA is still better. Not trying to devalue team here, but USA is all around far better. USA :can: play isolated because of their extreme talent, but can also pass extremely well if you look at their games. Lithuanians puts a decent amount of focus on basketball, and Lithuanians are generally large, which leads to a decent team. Props to Lithuania and USA.
Can't wait for the 2016 basketball team. Curry harden Lebron durant and Davis r gonna start and sure locks for the teams. Gonna be excited to see who makes the cut
It's most likely gonna be the rookies, every since Paul George got injured not that many "Big Time stars" played in the Olympics
they were very good team.
The sound is ahead of the video
the sky is blue.
It's not as close as its made out to be. US turned on the gas whenever they got close and Lithuania choked at the end.
4 people they need to add paul George Stephon Curry Kyrie Iring and Dwight Howard
i remember dwight was having issues with his team magic so he was more focus on his career then the usa team but im pretty sure he wanted to play
***** actually kyrie might be cut.. they havent announced the usa teams yet
